Leader/Parent 2016-2017 Planning Meeting (May 31st at 7:15pm)

We will be having a leadership and parent meeting on Tuesday May 31^st, to plan the pack meeting for the upcoming 2016-2017 year and discuss open pack leadership positions.  We need at least one leader from each den to represent the interests of their boys and ensure that the events meet the needs of their scouts.  In addition to leaders, all pack parents are encouraged to attend so that they can participate in the planning of the upcoming year.  Our goal for the pack meetings next year is to have them be more active where the boys can have fun and support the requirements of the Cub Scout curriculum.  

                           

In addition we will be discussing the open pack leadership positions and seeking parent volunteers.  There are a number of open leadership roles and event volunteer positions that the pack needs help with in order to run smoothly next year.  Descriptions of roles can be found under pack information on this site.

 We will be meeting in one of the rooms at St. Julies which we will be rejoining as our charter for the upcoming year.  At St. Julies we will again have the opportunity to more closely work with Boy Scout troop 753 and the scouting outreach opportunities that St. Julies offer.  Note that we will be meeting at the same time as the Boy Scout troop.

Pack 3753 Bicycle Challenge

Scouts and guests enjoyed a fun ride around the Newbury Park neighborhood where they followed clues in order to complete a 3 mile course that took them from Borchard to Walnut Elementary, Newbury Park High School, Peppertree Park and back.  At each stop they had the opportunity to demonstrate their speed in a team relay, practice knots, solve a word puzzle, and demonstrate their knowledge of the scout law.
